Abstract

Abstract : In article number1704470, Jin‐Ho Choy and co‐workers report a drug delivery system achieving an enhanced efficacy of boron neutron capture therapy. The targeted delivery of highly condensed boron cage clusters to tumor tissues and cells results in excellent neutron capture efficiency even under low boron concentration and neutron irradiation time, which could provide a promising integrative therapeutic platform for cancer treatment.
